Chapter 175 I Have a Plan to Help You Ascend the Throne
To be honest, Chen Huaian was not very interested in the strategy that Wuning King Liu Xinwu said could stop everyone in the world from talking. ơɱ
A truly strong person never needs to look at the faces, words and deeds of outsiders.
Besides, Chen Huaian did not rise to the throne as a vassal king like King Zhu Di of Yan.
The Zhao family in this new dynasty has nothing to do with the Jin king Chen Huai.
At the beginning, the reason why the banner of Fengtian Jingnan was held high was just to relieve the psychological burden of the 8,000 Longcheng Polu Army soldiers under him from raising troops to rebel.
Nowadays, Chen Huaian has millions of soldiers and 800,000 private soldiers who are absolutely loyal. How can he care about what people in the world think of him, let alone how future historians will record how he obtained the throne? .
However, Chen Huaian looked at the eager-looking Wuning King Liu Xinwu in front of him, but he didn't want to lose face to him, so he had to go down the slope and said: "Please ask Uncle Shi for advice!"
Ahem!
At this time, Xu Ruoyun, the concubine of the Jin Dynasty who was at the head of the banquet, coughed twice, then stood up and said to Yue Qiluo and Liu Shujun on the table: "Shujun, Qiluo, have you eaten well?"
"When you're done eating, come take a walk with me in the back garden!"
After all, he was born in the family of the previous dynasty, and had been the late king Chen Polu's virtuous wife for more than 20 years. As soon as Xu Ruoyun heard that his son and Wuning King Liu Xinwu were going to talk about national affairs, he was immediately ready to send away the rest. People etc.
"Toffee, I'm done eating!"
"I've eaten too!"
Yue Qiluo and Liu Shujun also wisely put down their bowls and chopsticks, stood up and saluted Chen Huaian and Liu Xinwu, then supported Xu Ruoyun's arms on the left and right, preparing to leave the table.
Only the carefree young prince Chen Longxiang, who was still nibbling on the chicken drumsticks with a smooth mouth, tilted his head and said: "Mother, I'm not full yet, you go first!"
With that said, Huanba pouted and asked Liu Xinwu: "My lord, do you have any plans to help my brother ascend the throne? Come on, tell me and I will listen, hehe!"
"Dragon Elephant!"
Suddenly, a strong little hand grabbed Chen Longxiang's Zhaofeng ears and immediately lifted the latter up from the chair.
I saw Yue Qiluo smiling and saying with narrowed eyes: "Long Xiang, sister, where can I find dried beef jerky from the Western Regions? You must like to eat it. Let's go and eat beef jerky with my sister. You'll be satisfied!"
"Sister-in-law, let go, it hurts, it hurts!"
Chen Longxiang grimaced in pain, but Yue Qiluo could only pick up his ears and carry him out. As he walked, he cast his eyes on his elder brother Chen Huaian for help.
He muttered aggrievedly: "Brother, you don't care about my sister-in-law!"
Ahem!
As soon as these words came out, Chen Huaian, who had pretended not to see it, had to cough twice to cover up his embarrassment.
And Yue Qiluo, who was called sister-in-law by Chen Longxiang one after another, finally had a delicate blush on her beautiful fair face, and the hand holding Chen Longxiang's ear couldn't help but get heavier. Strength.
No one noticed that there was a strange look in the eyes of Wuning King Liu Xinwu, and then he returned to his usual cheerful appearance, like a real version of Maitreya Buddha.
After such an episode, the atmosphere at the scene became a little subtle.
But the conversation must go on.
In the huge room, only Chen Huaian and Liu Xinwu were sitting next to each other at the wine table.
At this time, Liu Xinwu no longer had any worries and spoke freely: "My dear nephew, although you and I, my uncle and my nephew, have never talked frankly about your accession to the throne in the future;"
"You have never shown the slightest hint that you want to ascend the throne and become emperor!"
"but--"
After a pause, Liu Xinwu continued: "You and my uncle and nephew both know in our hearts that when the Dragon City army under the command of the wise nephew breaks through Jinling City in the future;"
"Even if you are a good nephew, you want to be the great new loyal and good person who will go down in history, and you don't want to covet the country of Zhao's orphans and widows;"
"However, these generals under your command who followed you all the way to the north and south, these generals who risked their families and even the lives of the nine clans to accompany you in raising troops when you raised troops from Dragon City;"
"Who doesn't want to be the minister of the dragon, and who doesn't want to be made a wife?"
"Uncle Shi dares to assert that when the Dragon City army attacks Jinling City in the future, the orphans and widowers of the Daxin Zhao family will disappear inexplicably in the imperial city."
Having said this, Liu Xinwu smiled meaningfully.
Then, he poured a glass of wine and drank it all, then continued: "Not to mention, the Great New Dynasty is currently undergoing a palace coup;"
"Whether it is Zhao Lingzhan, the son of Prince Fu supported by Prime Minister Qin Ruhui and his party;"
"It's still the deposed emperor Zhao Lingwu supported by Wu Sanjia, the new champion of military affairs in the Great New Dynasty;"
"In this palace coup, in the end, they can only become victims of the conflict of interests between powerful ministers and military generals."
"but--"
Liu Xinwu smiled confidently and said: "The current chaotic situation of the Great New Dynasty has just given you, my nephew, a God-given opportunity to ascend the throne and proclaim yourself emperor!"
Liu Xinwu's remarks pointedly revealed the current situation in the Dragon City army.
Chen Huaian had heard more than once that his generals were talking about when he would become emperor, and some good generals were secretly discussing in private what titles they should receive when the new dynasty was founded based on their military exploits. title.
When he heard Liu Xinwu analyze the power struggle between the new emperor and the deposed emperor, civil officials and military generals in the Great Xin Dynasty, he showed a little interest.
He took the initiative to fill a glass of wine for Liu Xinwu, raised his glass and clinked it with the latter, saying: "Uncle, let's drink and chat, cheers!"
"Cheers!"
Liu Xinwu drank another glass of wine, and then said under the influence of alcohol: "My dear nephew, think about it, the southern region controlled by the Great Xin Dynasty has been fighting continuously, and the people have been suffering for a long time;"
"Look at the northern region under my nephew's rule, the people's taxes will be halved in ten years, and the military families will be exempted from taxes in five years, so as to maximize the rest and development of the people;"
"Comparing the north and the south, the superior and the inferior are immediately determined!"
"It is said that those who are righteous will have many supporters, while those who are unrighteous will have few supporters. If my nephew wants to be crowned emperor legitimately, he must comply with the will of heaven and the will of the people."
Liu Xinwu continued: "Now, my nephew is supported by the people in the north, while the Great Xin Dynasty has lost the support of the people in the south;"
"So, the strategy of the Book of Changes is..."
Speaking of this, Liu Xinwu deliberately shortened the distance between him and Chen Huaian, and whispered in his ear for a while.
And Chen Huaian's expression gradually relaxed from the original frown.
Until, a smile of sudden enlightenment appeared on his face.
"Great, really great!"
Chen Huaian couldn't help but give a thumbs up and praised: "Uncle Shi, this strategy is really brilliant!"
"In that case, then this matter will be fully handed over to Uncle Shi to handle!"
"Glad to obey!"
